North Vietnam shows little sign of agreement, viewing each withdrawal as a step toward its takeover. Nixon’s delay on further withdrawals stems from prior miscalculations, not increased Viet Cong activity. Thieu agreed to a 75000-man drawdown by year end, with a larger target now of 100000 removals. The plan aims to ease the homefront burden and morale by reducing drafts and pulling Marine forces from Saigon. Additional quarterly withdrawals are expected to demonstrate the administration’s intent to exit the costly war.
